What do Ford Financial, IBM, and Victoria's Secret have in common?Enterprise JavaBeans(EJB). As the industry standard for platform-independent reusable business components, EJB has just become Sun Microsystem's latest developer certification. Whether you want to be certifiable or just want to learn the technology inside and out, Head First EJB will get you there in the least painful way. And with the greatest understanding. You'll learn not just what the technology *is*, but more importantly, *why* it is, and what it is and isn't good for. You'll learn tricks and tips for EJB development, along with tricks and tips for passing this latest, very challenging Sun Certified Business Component Developer(SCBCD)exam. You'll learn how to think like a server. You'll learn how to think like a bean. And because this is a Head First book, you'll learn how to think about thinking. Co-author Kathy Sierra was one of Sun's first employees to teach brave, early adopter customers how to use EJB. She has the scars. But besides dragging you deep into EJB technology, Kathy and Bert will see you through your certification exam, if you decide to go for it. And nobody knows the certification like they do - they're co-evelopers of Sun's actual exam!

Domain-specific languages(DSLs)and model-driven development(MDD)offer software engineers powerful new ways to improve productivity, enhance quality, and insulate systems from rapid technological change. Now, there’s a pragmatic, start-to-finish guide to creating DSLs and using MDD techniques with the powerful open source Eclipse platform. In Eclipse Modeling Project, Richard C. Gronback illuminates both the principles and techniques software professionals need to master, offering insights that will be invaluable to developers working with any tool or platform.
As coleader of the Eclipse Modeling Project, Gronback is singularly well-positioned to demonstrate DSLs and MDD at work in Eclipse. Gronback systematically introduces each of the Eclipse technologies that can be used in DSL and MDD development. Throughout, he introduces key concepts and technologies in the context of a complete worked example and presents new best practices and never-before published techniques. He also covers Eclipse projects discussed in no other book, including Query/View/Transformation(QVT)and the Graphical Modeling Framework(GMF)–a project the author personally leads.
Eclipse Modeling Project gives software practitioners all the knowledge they need to explore the remarkable potential of DSLs and MDD–and includes coverage of

Whether you are using Windows Forms to build rich-client business applications or the ASP.NET framework to build powerful web applications or web services, the use of well-designed graphics will greatly enhance their usability, impact, and visual appeal. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the use of GDI+ in.NET applications and aims to provide developers with all the information they need to build effective custom controls.

The opening section of the book investigates the.NET Framework classes that implement GDI+. It covers all of the classes, methods and techniques needed to create, manipulate, and display precise graphics in a form, a page being sent to a printer or an image.

On this foundation, the second section describes how to design and build effective custom controls for use in a business environment. Topics covered include building composite controls, implementing keyboard navigation, and enhancing design-time support.

The final section of the book explores the use of GDI+ and ASP.NET to build custom controls that can provide reusable, GUI components for web projects and to deliver customized graphics over the Internet.
From the Publisher
This book is designed for the professional developer or tecnhical lead who needs to write GDI+ code for either Windows Forms or for Web Forms applications. Upon completion of this book, the reader will be able to:

* Program in GDI+ and understand the concepts on which GDI+ is based
* Build custom controls in Windows Forms and Web forms
* Enhance design-time support
* Construct a custom server side bitmap file and display it on a Web page
* Create a Web Service that serves up custom images

Because graphics systems for video games and game console hardware have become more complex, graphics applications must also advance. This is where programmable vertex and pixel shaders come in. Learn Vertex and Pixel Shader Programming with DirectX 9 shows how to write assembly language for programming the vertex shader and pixel shader hardware using DirectX 9 and covers the fundamentals of programming vectors using SIMD methodology in conjunction with the Direct3D 9 application interfaces.

A guide for UNIX developers who want accurate information on getting up to speed with Mac OS X and its software development environment, this book provides programmers all the information they need to understand and use the operating system, its development tools, and key technologies such as Darwin, Cocoa, and AppleScript. Users are introduced to the UNIX-based foundations of Mac OS X and shown how they fit into Mac OS X architecture. Also provided is coverage of both GUI and command-line software development tools, realistic programming examples that developers will encounter, and a discussion of Macintosh-style software development.

Kenneth Finney teaches game design, development, and prototyping at the Art Institute of Toronto where he is Lead Faculty Member in the Game Art & Design program. He began programming in 1974 and remembers that old HP-1000 with its paper tape and punch cards with a perverse fondness. Finney had been a software engineer from the mid-'80s until the late '90s focusing on advanced technology development. He was a recipient of the prestigious Conference Board of Canada ITX(Innovation in Technology Excellence)Award in 1997 for his work on "InScan," a high-speed document scanning system. He has been an Associate Professor at Seneca College at York University in Toronto, teaching technical writers how to survive in a software development environment. Ken is the creator of the popular Tubettiworld "Online Campaign" This book is a continuation of the successful "3D Game Programming All in One" book, which uses the Torque Game Engine technology to explain how you can quickly create your own high quality games. Some subject areas that were merely touched on in the first book(for example, 3D modeling)are expanded upon in this book, giving you a deeper set of skills and understanding about those subjects. Other advanced subjects like Artificial Intelligence are introduced for the first time, and are taken to a high skill and knowledge level within the game development context. The book also will explain and describe the "under the hood" workings of an award-winning game engine, without bogging down in programming minutiae. The point is not to write a game engine, but to learn how to use one to maximum effect.

This is the third part of the "Java"-series written by David Etheridge. This book gives the reader an introduction to Input/Output Packages, Streams, Iterators, Graphical User Interface(GUI)and much more.
